Hopes

"Hope is the feeling you have, that the feeling you have, isn't permanent."  

Read the previous line again and let these beautiful words sink into your heart. We as humans have forever been clinging to this word called hope. The word is pretty much meaningful in itself since we've all have our own set of definitions for it. For me hope is something that has always been there with me even when nothing else was.

We all have come across this phase in our lives where everything just seems to be shattering and tearing us apart. For the brink moment we just don't want to live anymore want that problem to just get over with our existence. It can be because of you facing setbacks with your job or relationships or maybe struggling financially or the pressures of life are just overwhelming you. Whatever be the reason the consequence is devastating and it is killing us from the inside. At this point in our lives nothing helps us more than the hope that everything that is happening at that moment is temporary and will pass by for better things to take its place. I faced such a situation after my 12th boards and JEE results came out. Needless to specify I had scored pretty unexpectedly bad in both the exams which were to decide the next four years of my life. During that week or so after the results I had just lost all hopes of living to be honest. Sleepless nights, depressing days and if ever i did fall asleep then sleeping with the thought that i never wake up again had all become a part of my life. The only thing left of me was the faint hope of everything eventually getting okay and then what followed was more than satisfying. Getting into a new college and making wonderful new friends who helped me get over that unforgettable phase of my life was no less than a miracle. Today I stand tall with that phase gone by all because I had faith and hopes for this to happen.

Talking about this side we cannot neglect the other side of the story as well. We have been clinging onto false hopes for a very long time. All of us have millions of false hopes that deep inside us that we all know will never be met but then whats the point of living life without hope. Without hopes humans lives are null and void. We need to cling on to hopes how much ever false they be because hopes give us the intend to work in life. We all keep hoping for so many things in one general day of ours. We all hope that our crushes start talking to us like we want them to and maybe someday land up together as a couple. We all hope to have a good day at work where everything goes according to plan and there is no mishaps. We all hope for the best during exam results how much ever bad the paper might have gone. We all hope that someday, from somewhere, something happens which makes our lives worth living. There are many more such hopes we live by but then these hopes add to expectations and eventually disappointment. Practically something like this to happen has a negligible probability unless and until we work towards the result we expect. Just blindly hoping for things to happen won't get them done. One need to work towards the hope he has in himself to make things happen the way he wants them to happen. The intend is really needed when it comes to hopes being fulfilled and that's what is missing in most of us here. This is the reason they say 'Work hard and hope for the best'.

So yes after showing the intend one can hope for good stuff to follow and certainly the hopes are met then. Let us all hope everything will fall in place and never give up. I'll add one more hope to the numerous ones I have by hoping that you my viewers liked this post and the other ones as well.
